Introduction to Fermentation: Kombuchas, Kefir, Mead and other Ferments

Learn how to distinguish the different types of fermentation and start fermenting easily at home.

Create preservatives thanks to microorganisms, extend the life of your products and generate new aromas and flavors

Beer, cheese, kombucha, kefir, kimchi, wine, coffee and sausages are just some of the most common fermented foods around the world.

Fermentation is the word on everybody’s lips. At LOV ferments, we refer to biological methods of conservation as fermentation. We feed a microorganism to make substances that are harmful for others. In this way we are able to extend the life of a product. Via the generation of new substances we create unique aromas and flavors.

Cheese, beer, miso, kimchi and wine are just a few examples of the creation of alcohol or acids to extend the life of the product. Fermentation has been with us since the beginning of mankind, although how it worked only started to be understood a few hundred years ago. You have to know some basic notions to start fermenting and lose any fear of these ancestral techniques.

The course is good but...

English voice-over is just poorly done. I don't know anything about Spanish. Maybe the sentence structure is significantly different, which causes the problem, but the waiting time between two sentences in English voice-over is just too long. And that makes me feel like I'm missing some info because of a lack of translation. I feel like if I had known Spanish I would have learned much more.
